Misc. Notes
Memo: The Tinius family tree identifies her as “Bernice Celeste”!
She is found in the 1910 census with her birth name “Hickman”, but starting no later 1920 she always went by the name “Louise Machlan”.
SSDI reports her birth and death date. Her Social Security card was issued in Iowa before 1951, under the name Louise B Machlan, SSN 482-09-7387. (Might be interesting to order her SSN application, and see if it mentions that she was apparently ADOPTED by J. N. Machlan, and that her BIRTH father is Will Hickman!?)
1910 CENSUS, EVANSVILLE WARD 7, VANDERBURGH, IN:
CAUTION: The indexer for this census screwed up, and indexed the census pages OUT OF ORDER. As a result, the family is split, and mixed with other families. Search for “Emma S Tinius 1888” to find her grandmother, mother Martha, and Martha’s sister Esther. Search for “Bernice Hickman” to find the child, plus Martha’s brothers Judson and Calvin. Careful study of house numbers on the image will convince you this is the right family!
Head of household is Emma S Tinius (age 44). Present are her daughters Martha E (22), Esther R (16), and sons Judson H (14) and Calvin J (10). And GRANDDAUGHTER (Bernice Hickman). Bernice is reported to be age one year and 11 months. (The census was taken 25 Apr 1910, and that age works back to her birth date as reported to Social Security.)
